Answer by alisanad2007your proxy gets info by the port number along with the request
and thats beyond security because its still at the request phase. for example, the HTTP port number is 80 so ur paket sent is gonna read a .80 at the end of it and thats how ur proxy or a proxy know what u doin or requesting.

In using a proxy server (for example, anonymizing HTTP proxy), all data sent to the service being used (for example, HTTP server in a website) must pass through the proxy server before being sent to the service, mostly in unencrypted form. It is therefore possible, and has been demonstrated, for a malicious proxy server to record everything sent to the proxy: including unencrypted logins and passwords.

By chaining proxies which do not reveal data about the original requester, it is possible to obfuscate activities from the eyes of the user’s destination. However, more traces will be left on the intermediate hops, which could be used or offered up to trace the user’s activities. If the policies and administrators of these other proxies are unknown, the user may fall victim to a false sense of security just because those details are out of sight and mind.

The bottom line of this is to be wary when using proxy servers, and only use proxy servers of known integrity (e.g., the owner is known and trusted, has a clear privacy policy, etc.), and never use proxy servers of unknown integrity. If there is no choice but to use unknown proxy servers, do not pass any private information (unless it is properly encrypted) through the proxy.

A proxy server gets its information like a normal host using port 80. The only thing a proxy sever does is hides your ip address and gives you a random one.

Depending if the URL has http in it, it should be safe. if you mean from adware then no you just need to trust that site. If you see a lock on your page somewhere or a https (S – means secure) means your information is safe and not being retransmitted.
